Peptide mapping by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography employing silica rod monoliths.
2003
In this paper, a general procedure is described for the generation of peptide maps of proteins with monolithic silica-based columns. The peptide fragments were obtained by tryptic digestion of various cytochrome c species with purification of the tryptic fragments achieved by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic methods. Peak assignment of the various peptides was based on evaluation of the biophysical properties of the individual peptides and via mass spectrometric identification. The performance of several different monolithic sorbents prepared as columns of identical cross-sectional dimensions were investigated as part of these peptide mapping studies and the data evalu…
ChemInform Abstract: Lithium Enediolates and Dienediolates of Carboxylic Acids in Synthesis: Alkylation with Secondary Halides.
2010
Abstract High yields in the alkylation of dianions of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids with secondary halides can be obtained despite elimination reactions occurring. α-Regioselectivity for the alkylation of but-2-enoic acids ( 1–4 ) is seldom obtained. Although double bond stereoselectivity is higher than 99% for γ-alkylated products, stereoselectivity is rather poor for most of the α-alkylated products.
ChemInform Abstract: Stereoselective Synthesis of 7,11-Guaien-8,12-olides from Santonin. Synthesis of Podoandin and (+)-Zedolactone A.
2001
Photochemical rearrangement of hydroxy ester 2, easily obtained from santonin (1), afforded butenolide 4, a good starting material for the synthesis of 7,11-guaien-8,12-olides. Compound 4 has been transformed into compound 10, which has been used for the synthesis of podoandin (5) and (+)-zedolactone A (ent-6). Regioselective elimination of the acetyl group on C10 afforded directly podoandin (5). For the synthesis of ent-6, a hydroxyl group has been regio- and stereoselectively introduced at the 4α-position through the 3α,4α-epoxide 15. The basic hydrolysis of the 10-acetyl group in compound 18 took place with concomitant intramolecular conjugated addition of the alkoxide to the butenolide …
Synthesis of 1,3,5-Trisubstituted Hydantoins by Regiospecific Domino Condensation/Aza-Michael/O→N Acyl Migration of Carbodiimides with Activated α,β-…
2005
[reaction: see text] Carbodiimides and suitably activated alpha,beta-unsaturated carboxylic acids react effectively to afford a vast array of 1,3,5-trisubstituted hydantoins by means of a regiospecific domino condensation/aza-Michael/N--O acyl migration. The reaction works well in very mild conditions (20 degrees C, dichloromethane) with fumaric acid derivatives bearing an electron-withdrawing group in the beta position. Good results have been obtained also with less activated substrates bearing only one electron-withdrawing group in the beta position, using more polar solvents (acetonitrile, DMF), and in the presence of a base (2,4,6-trimethylpyridine). Reactions with asymmetric carbodiimi…
Selenium supplementation improves antioxidant capacity in vitro and in vivo in patients with coronary artery disease
2008
Background Selenium is a central determinant of antioxidative glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPx-1) expression and activity. The relevance of selenium supplementation on GPx-1 in coronary artery disease (CAD) needs to be established. We assessed the effect of selenium supplementation on GPx-1 in cell culture and on endothelial function in a prospective clinical trial. Methods Human coronary artery endothelial cells were incubated with 5.78 to 578 nmol/L sodium selenite, Se-methyl-selenocysteine hydrochloride, or seleno-l-methionine. Glutathione peroxidase 1 mRNA and protein expression and activity were measured. Coronary artery disease patients (n = 465) with impaired endothelial function (flow-…
Partial oxidation of aromatic alcohols via TiO2 photocatalysis: the influence of substituent groups on the activity and selectivity
2012
Aromatic alcohols with substituent groups in different positions have been partially oxidised to the corresponding aldehydes in a photocatalytic system in order to investigate the influence of the substituents on reactivity and selectivity to aldehyde. To this aim benzyl alcohol, 2-methoxybenzyl alcohol, 3-methoxybenzyl alcohol, 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol, 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl alcohol, 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol have been photocatalytically oxidised to their corresponding aldehydes in aqueous TiO2 suspensions under near-UV irradiation. Home-made and commercial rutile TiO2 samples were used as photocatalysts. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, BET, SEM, T…
Sulfated and Non-Sulfated Glycopeptide Recognition Domains of P-Selectin Glycoprotein Ligand 1 and their Binding to P- and E-Selectin
2009
Total synthesis through block glycosylation and selective chemical O-sulfation of tyrosine residues yielded the glycopeptide recognition domain A (X=SO(3) (-)) of the P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1, in which the terminal sialic acid of the complex hexasaccharide side chain was replaced by (S)-cyclohexyl lactic acid. In binding assays the O-sulfated structure A showed high affinity towards P-selectin, the non-sulfated towards E-selectin.
Enzymatic glycosylation of o-glycopeptides
1992
Abstract O-Glycosylation of serine derivatives carried out with N-urethane protected glucosamine yields O-glycopeptides which are regio- and stereoselectively galactosylated with the aid of β-1,4-galactosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.22).

Non-classical CH⋯O hydrogen-bond determining the regio- and stereoselectivity in the [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of (Z)-C-phenyl-N-methylnitrone w…
2015
The role of the ester groups in the regio- and stereoselectivities of the zw-type [3 + 2] cycloaddition (32CA) reaction of C-phenyl-N-methylnitrone with dimethyl 2-benzylidenecyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxylate (BCPC) has been studied using DFT methods at the MPWB1K/6-31G(d) level. The possible ortho/meta regioisomeric channels and the endo/exo stereoselective approach modes were explored and characterized. Analysis of the relative energies associated with the different reaction pathways indicates that the presence of the two CO2Me groups in the cyclopropane ring has a remarkable effect on selectivities favouring the ortho/endo path, in good agreement with the experimental data. Inclusion of sol…
